Men jailed for "honour" assault and robbery
Passing by with little or no mention in the press - perhaps eclipsed by the Shafilea Ahmed murder trial - is another incident of so called 'honour' violence from Luton.
Two boys, aged 16 and 18, were dragged into a car and savagely beaten for the crime of innocently speaking to a mans sister in the Arndale Centre.
Akash Ali, 20, assisted by friends Mohammed Dad, 23, and Hamzah Hussain, 20, forced them into a waiting car where they were repeatedly punched by Ali and Dad.
In a demonstration of honour - an honour theft? - Ali then robbed both teenagers, taking an expensive watch and a Blackberry phone.
When arrested approximately an hour later, Hussain was wearing the stolen watch.
Ali was jailed for 30 months, Hussain for 18 months, and Dad for 10 months.
Judge Michael Kay, commenting when passing sentence at Luton Crown Court, said that "This was a form of honour beating to teach them a lesson not to talk to your sister. It was shocking and outrageous behaviour that will not be tolerated."
Even the courts, police, and media, refer to 'honour' these days - it somehow seems to make an offence sound less bad, almost an excuse to mitigate utterly unacceptable behaviour on behalf of people from foreign cultures.
None dare tell it as it is though - that this barbaric concept of honour did not exist here before, it has been entirely imported and made into a problem which the people and authorities of Britain now have to deal with.
This largely unreported incident from Luton is just one among many thousands of such incidents; most never make it into the media at all.
Honour though? Let's just tell the truth - it's alien barbarity and brutality given a new home in Britain; the honour label can be thrown in the bin.
And theirs me thinking that for kidnapping with violence you'd get 5 years +
